Cerebro Spinal Fluid (CSF) leak

2017-03-14 08:57:18
My mother has a CSF leak, it is coming from her right nose . ENT surgeon in the hospital is saying that it's better go for surgery. general medicine doctor and critical care doctor is saying that it is not an emergency care , lets take the third opinion from any other specialist(ENT/Neurologist) . so that we can proceed for weather to go for surgery or not. Right now, my mother is under medication for healing process and there is some improvement compared to the previous day. So i need a suggestion from someone weather to go for surgery(Endoscopic surgery) or not.

See csf leak is definitely a serious thing.. If conservative management heals the leak then very gud but if it does not heal or there are signs of meningitis then go for surgery
